Lack of Intelligence to me cos every about our chants are from an era of football that no longer resonates with the present. They can't even compose new songs.

That Bostwana gk should have been the POTM though.
Watch as he will still not give rest to key player for this Algeria game. Infact he won't still use Chioma. Lol. Rinsola doesn't need to start that game

Sheybi I talk say we need Oyenezide? She doesn’t have to make rough tackles but when she gets the ball she keeps the ball better and she’s always able to retrieve the second ball. Her shots are also usually very wayward though like most of the falcons except the likes of Echiegini and Plumptre.

When you have Ayinde already, you don’t need a similar player like Abiodun playing at the same time except you are playing Spain and you probably want to get a draw. Abiodun was going forward more often but if the coach wanted someone to do that, why an Abiodun who is not as experienced going forward?

But hey, Oyenezide wasn’t invited so we’ll let that be.
I won't lie, Ucheibe dey fall hand. Na her dey uefa women's comp and she dey do like she learnt nothing to make her stand out here.

If Onyenezide doesn't get the call one day, then make they find a better one. But you see that Idoko, girl is like a Modric. Her vision and passes got even better.

Overall, this man's best ability is frowning on the touchline like Incredible Hulk.

Ajibade should be in the wing where she can hurt Botswana with her pace.... Payne should be attacking midfielder, is this coach stupid? Why can't he see something that's very obvious
Perhaps man thinks cos she wears 7 so she should start from the wing. Im too pissed at the game tonight. It is also hilarious that as talented as this team is, passing is still a big big herculean problem overall. Omo!!

At this rate, we need both Onyenezide and Mercy Idoko in Falcons. They too sabi passing abeg. Especially Idoko. All I'm seeing are same problems on 2022 group stage and that's enough to sink one's morale even though they'll still top group.


I knew this man will give Chioma the "Attervall treatment"

Last time vs Bostwana, Ucheibe scored from a CK after her teammates opened up space for her in Saliba-Arsenal style. Im expecting another Rinsola+Oshoala connect for a goal as Zee is good in such moments. I however prefer that Ayinde and Deborah start or Ayinde-Ucheibe. This is a game that needs Toni imo.

Front 3-Rinsola+Oshoala/Ihezuo+Ajibade

For the quarter finals, I think Morocco would not really be a problem to us if we put our acts together on the day but for Zambia, I just thought of something now though it may sound ridiculous.

Considering the Zambian game is built entirely on their forwards like Barbara and Kundinanji, if we pair Ucheibe and Ohale (then bench Demehin) at the heart of the defence and then Abiodun and Ayinde in defensive midfield, we would frustrate the Zambians big time if we happen to meet.

This was what Randy did to frustrate South Africa at the Olympic qualifiers.
Rinsola and Chioma will be key vs Morocco IMO. But we need a controller for that very encounter when it comes. The players wey go vex me that day na those misplaced passes ones.

The last encounter, both sides were unlucky in finishing. That will be different this time, plus we should be wary of any favouritism. A rewatch of that encounter should b3 enough on how to approach them.

Symptoms still persist from wafcon 2022. This passing issue.
Whatever Christy did today should be the last. In coming months, the defense will be the least choked with talents and will need fresh legs. The Midfield is too choked with potentials right now but i won't lie, we still need a controller aside TP7. I guess i have to get used to Ihezuo being reliable when called on gradually. But RB2 is a great addition to this attack. She just might be the solution to our slack set piece debacle. Two GA from her left foot already.

The memory of that ojoro is still fresh in my head.. imagine been one woman down and yet the girls still attacked massively. Unfortunately for us, the goalkeeper was at her best that night.
That game was a nervy one.

A fully fit Oshoala should be dependable in such a game as well, although im expecting more from Rinsola, Esther, Deborah and Ihezuo this time sha.


I also hope the ladies are tested and trusted in PKs this time around. A repeat of that England shooutout should never ever be known.

I will rather say South Africa who are more organized and Morocco who are very tactical with technical players are ahead of them in the pecking order..

Truthfully if you can get down Banda, Kundananji, Mupopo, Mukoma and Co then they’re very much beat able..

Thank Goodness we have very Physical players in Midfield( Ayinde, Christy Ucheibe, Abiodun) who thrive alot in this kind of physical games…!
Congo might be there too. I however hope that when we meet Morocco again, we'll take them to the cleaners. That last encounter is still fresh in memory and the ojoro and all at play. I hope we contain Tigernut and Chebbak this time fully.

I believe the freshness in attacking power will make the difference. That their keeper turn to Olivia Kahn that night. Lol

What makes his backtracking good? Do you know how many millions of people were deceived by his many lies before now? And what makes you think the current path is not also a lie to be backtracked from? undecided

2. Huhhuh? Are you kidding? If you are referring to Jesus Christ of Israel, He is nothing like what these scammers-in-the-lords tell you all about. Christianity boasts of over 46,000 different idols of Jesus Christ of Israel with none of them anything like the original. huh
Kobo, i understand you. Better one that recognizes error and rectifies than one that is defiant and arrogant. Personally, i have enough to write epistles or books if i want to on subject matter but i just decided to write this simple one. I acknowledge the errors and misleading it has caused. It is devastating truly and like you are on, it deserves dragging no doubt.

As for if it is the right path or not, that is obvious to see anyway.

The thing is all these man-made structures that God didn't institute will collapse las las.

Gracious3105:
As a follower of Deeper life I would disagree with you to a very large extent.
Kumuyi, over the years, has always addressed issues like this. Sometimes, people are even surprised that he is the one saying such things. In 2008 or thereabout, he addressed many behavioural issues in the Church like marriage, offering, and even this same topic of covering the hair. At the time, some people thought he might die soon, which they believed was why he was preaching those messages.
Now, the way Deeper Life members behave is that whenever Pastor Kumuyi preaches about something, they tend to apply it to every area of their lives, often without limits and that has been a major issue.

For example, Deeper Life members used to see those who danced or gave offerings openly as sinners, until the Pastor addressed the difference between church traditions and Bible doctrines. He said that the fact that people do not follow DLBC’s laid-down traditions does not make them sinners. He referred to the woman in the Bible who gave two coins as an example of giving openly. He pointed out that if she had not given openly, how would Jesus and others have known that she gave two coins?
That's the problem there.. but if you knew the origins pf all these things, you'll know that there's been a softening from the extreme view levels to a more central original level.


It is bad to suspend one's brains every time any MoG speaks. Infact, throughout the Bible, MoGs spoke to restore the factory settings of a sound mind as a corrupted mind was not only the issue, but a pharisee-ical or warped/confused mind.

The good thing is he is backtracking now and we bless Hod for that but we can't overlook how many were victims of following every rule more than a soldier follows orders of his General.


The tightness is exactly what Jesus rebuked in the Jewish synagogue system and it is time DL makes the uptight ones relazz and breef now than ever before. May God open eyes daily and help those already discourage and disheveled. Hopefully more reforms of extreme rules that are now traditions.

Odunayaw:
Good point, I slightly differ that the prelim & first rounds be scrapped. There are 47 associations (as at this last CL), without those rounds some FAs will never taste continental football.
However it is nonsense that clubs like Raja Casablanca are still forced to do prelim & first rounds.
The top 12 associations should have the league winners settled in the groups.
Runner ups from the 12 can play against the winners of those who beat themselves in the prelim round.
That Super league nonsense should be scrapped.
That's where expansion can help to me. If 8 more teams are added to make it 24, that already cutting away of prelim games. Not to talk of when it is 32 teams.

The league winners, yeah. Fantastic idea. They've done their part in deserving that, especially as they're ranked top 12. Then the remaining 24 slots can go through just one round so we can make do with all these. Then coefficients can come in to determine if 2 or 3 total slots needs to go to one league.


Or better still, just increase the league slots for confed cup and make it a 32 team tournament. Atall atall(if they're too reluctant for changing the 16teams for the CCL). It will increase the rep of CCC.

It's just sad that CAF is still struggling with how Away teams are treated all rounda. The hammer is not wielded enough. If an existing rule is on ground for such conduct, it will reduce all these panel sittings IMO. They should leave anything committee for heavier matters.


Overall 16teams is undeserving, no matter what anyone tries to say.
